•How to make the video connection between your TV and subwoofer.

•How to use the remote control to modify and save subwoofer parameters.

•How to run Self-EQ and Auto-EQPLUSoptimization using the remote control.

•How to use the remote control to perform Manual-EQ optimization.

Instruction Conventions

•Words in all uppercase bold letters in the setup instructions (e.g., SELECT, MENU, etc.) identify the specific remote button to be pressed or selected, or the field (e.g., NEXT, SEL, etc.) on the screen you should select or should be paying attention to.

•Words in title case and bold are the names of the interface screens, such as Introductory screen.

Make Video Connection between TV and Subwoofer

To make the video connection from the subwoofer to the TV:

1.Connect either:

The subwoofer’s Video Output (yellow RCA connector) to the TV’s composite video input (yellow connector).

OR

The subwoofer’s S-VIDEO output to the TV’s S-Video input.

2.Use the TV’s remote to set the video input where you connected the video output as the active TV image. The Introductory screen appears on your TV screen as shown in Figure 1.

See the Controls & Connections section of the Digital DrivePLUS User’s Manual for locations of these connectors on the subwoofer’s back panel.

SCREENS

Following is an overview of the screens you use to optimize the subwoofer audio output.

Introductory Screen

When you first connect the video output of the subwoofer to your TV and turn on the power to both the TV and subwoofer, the Introductory screen appears as shown Figure 1. If you use the remote to change settings, such as the selected preset or volume, the changes are automatically reflected on this screen. This screen indicates that the subwoofer is in its Active mode. However, this screen can also be used to indicate the subwoofer is in Runtime Inactive modes; screenshots are shown later in this section. See the Digital DrivePLUS

User’s Manual for description of the subwoofer modes.
